I think there’s a growing trend of these types of site emerging, but how can they evolve to be different from each other? I mean what’s the point of me using other coupons sites other than retailmenot for example? Will be interesting to see how things develop over the coming year.

With our bandwidth issues here in South Africa slowly improving, the number of retail and shopping portals are also increasing at an exponential rate.

Comparison shopping is taking off in a big way down here.

There's been a good rise in the number of Bargain Hunting websites coming around lately which is fantastic. Especially here in Australia.

It's opened my eyes to hundreds of deals & shops that I wouldn't normally have known about.

I just came across a site I used to buy my books called SmartBookFinder.com, http://www.smartbookfinder.com. They are book price comparison search engine. I find their interface very user friendly and fast. They also have a book buyback & book rental comparison service. I find their book rental comparison very interesting, haven’t ever scene that before.

Thanks . I just across a site which is targeted at Australian consumers.

However, most of the community based bargain sharing sites are emerging in the US only and there are very few of them for consumers like countries in UK and Australia. Hopefully they catch up soon.

[...] Glimpse.com for an undisclosed amount of money. My bet is that TheFind is bulking up to compete with rivals such as Kaboodle, which now has the backing of magazine giant Hearst [...]

I also like http://www.ShopWiki.com They crawl all the ecommerce stores out there so you know you’ve searched everywhere for that great deal. I heard they just launched a site in the UK as well: http://www.QuickShop.co.uk

HagglePoint.com is another website making waves that’s worth a look.

Spot Cost http://www.spotcost.com

It is very hard to show accurate prices. That is what we are trying to be better at: more accurate prices, more accurate product information. Please let us know how we are doing.

Thanks Chris

Online shopping with price comparisons has now come to India. Bechna.com looks like the first off the starting blocks. I’ve been using them to check a few prices already…and made a couple of purchases online. Not a bad start. Still a long way to go for online shopping in India. Very much in its infancy.

at eDistiller, they rank the products based on quality. But they also allow you to search by Value. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but so far as I can tell it's a measure of quality per dollar spent… at it's not too bad.

Addthis is OK, but I prefer Socialite because you can set it to post blog articles or websites to multiple social networks automatically instead of just one with addthis.

Just having tested like.com, (launched today) I find the ChezImelda.com implementation for shoes still the most straight forward. Has been around for 2 months now and growing. They have 90,000 pairs, they allow you to click on shoe images, the network recentres in a milisecond, with 5 clicks you know the shoe universe and you are happy to go and purchase. Great tool…

Good point, D Ashcart. I suspect you're right-- eBay and Amazon stores are probably contributing hundreds of thousands of stores to this number.

I suspect the average consumer thinks of these stores as simply part of eBay and Amazon. But "hundreds of thousands" sounds much more impressive than "two". Ain't marketing grand?

Of course, my challenge to TheFind still stands.
